The ticker is just fine !

Went to the cardiologist today to get my results. My LVEF (Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction) was 64% compared to 67% before chemo, however she explained that this number was not exact and it would vary on a daily basis. Phew.. seems like I dodged the serious side effect of Adriamycin.. yey !!!

They wanted to put me on beta blockers cause I seemed to have a lot of palpitations according to the halter reading(when I asked when they mainly occurred they said throughout the day about a total of 750 of them). It is not anything worrisome but it might bother me she said, maybe thats why I keep on waking up? I told that as long as it was not something that would harm me I did not want to take any meds. Will look into natural remedies to the same effect. She also added that this could be a temporary thing because of the chemo or the stress I have been under. They want me back in 6 months just for a follow up.

Had to drop by Track Shack(since the Heart Center was practically acroos the Trackshack and I have a informal commitment to go to Track Shack of Orange Cycle whenever I am within a mile radius of either ;o) , and saw a lady with a 'suspicious scarf' hmm.. at the risk of being nosy I asked her in the best way that I would have liked to be approached ' Are you going through something or is your head cold ?' She started laughing and it turns out that she is being treated by my original oncologist. Asked what chemo treatment she was on she told me that she was on AC .. hmm I thought that they should have changed the protocol after all those research studies were released. The Lady ( D) has also registered to the Breast Cancer Marathon but said that she probably would not be running it but just will go as a spectator.
